Personal Communications

Note: As stated in
section 6.20, page 179 of the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of
the American Psychological Association, personal communications include
letters, memos, some electronic communications, personal interviews, and
telephone conversations. Because personal communications do not have "recoverable
data," they are not included in the reference list and cited in text
only. Give the surname and first initials of the communicator (the person
being interviewed or speaking in the communication) and an exact date.
If the name of the communicator is given in the text, include the exact
date in the in text citation according to the first example below.

Citing Abstracts as Original Source

Note:

The 6th edition manual states that while it is preferable to cite the full text of an article, abstracts can be used as sources and included in your References list.

Examples of how to cite abstracts as original source and an abstract
as a secondary source (print periodical) are available in section 7.01, page 202, of the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association (Reserve, 808.066 A51p 2010, Library Services Desk,
1st Floor).

An example of how to cite an abstract of a doctoral dissertation in Dissertation Abstracts International (DAI)
are available in section 7.05, page 208, of the 6th edition of
the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
